  • Main menu could do with some music

  • The how to play text is phrased in a really confusing way

  • The game feels pretty polished

  • The beating heart in the background is a really cool touch

  • An undo button would be nice

  • I think the RNG is bad design. It rewards doing the same level over and over again at the bare minimum percentage which makes the game incredibly easy

  • If you get to 100% infection rate I think it should automatically go to the next level

  • There’s a rounding issue on the levels that require 3 wins to get to 100%. If you go to the yellow tile 3 times it displays 99% instead of 100%

  • Overall, I think the biggest improvement would be to eliminate the RNG entirely. I feel like it ruins the cool puzzle mechanics

Well thats a really nice puzzle game. I like the mechanics that lead to really clever puzzles. 

Graphics and sound are great, too. Will add this to my favorites.

Like the game, visuals are nice and the puzzle aspect is working. However because of the infection rate, it is possible to cheese your way through the puzzles after 1-3 completions per level, so maybe a penalty system for people doing this might be a fun workaround. For instance, less viruses used to complete the  level, the more difficult the next one becomes, or the infection threshold becomes higher.

Overall I enjoyed the game.

The originality of the idea is very good. Although I feel like I need more context about how to play the game. But that's just me, maybe I'm just dumb enough to understand the game haha. Anyway, good concept and I like the sounds as well. Good luck! ^^

Very well made and polished game. I can tell a lot care went into it. Love the detailed tutorial and transitions ( not enough people make scene transitions ;)  ) and how responsive the buttons are with sounds, higlight when hovered.

The concept is quite original and could be expanded upon for a big puzzle game with many mechanics.

Graphics are also very well made in a cohesive and charming style.

The % chance of beating a level is rather weird though. It means someone can repeat a level after getting just one virus and eventually beat it. I think it would be better to just have a minimum amount of viruses you need to get and the "goal" number to perfect the level. That way people who aren't as good can still progress and the challenge is still there.

Hi there!

Wow, what a polished game! It had a bit of a blackthornprod art style which I like quite a bit! The music is fantastic, it matches the hearbeat in the background really well! Nice puzzles, scene transitions, this is much more than a game jam game. Even the instructions are well written and not overloaded with text. Might be my favorite game so far!
